English This product is part of the project “Gender Approach and Gender Education in Primary Schools in Ukraine”, a project in cooperation between Women’s Folk High School in Gothenburg, Sweden, Women’s Consortium of Ukraine and National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv. The basis of this product was laid at a conference in Kiev October 11-13, 2010. The product is meant to serve as an aid for those who want to work with gender and gender equality in schools, but is by no means a complete product. Based on experiences from the Swedish popular education, we can hopefully provide some ideas and proposals that can function as a support and a basis for local work in Ukraine.

Some good things really do comes out of bad things. Well, I hope not to provoke too much, but after have been living in Ukraine for more than five months I have only one word to say about the country’s gender order, horrifying. And I also admit that is close to an understatement.

I could go though many examples on how politicians ignore equal rights for women, or every day life situation that not only I find absurd.

But I will not.

Instead I would like to present for you those that do react, and have in mind to make a change Феміністична Офензива, a feminist offensive towards a new world order. Below you find photos and a video from their demonstration on March 8. And I have now only one word to tell you, enjoy! I am so happy to have your power around!

Yesterday Dzyga gallery hosted an afternoon with Swedish poetry spooken by Carl Forsberg, inter alia poet, editor at retrograde.org. The gallery was full of visitors that showed a great interest in Swedish poetry from Gothenburg. Carl recited poems by Johannes Anyuru, Pamela Jaskoviak och Ragnar Strömberg. The translator Lev Hrytsyuk read his own translations and Hanna Mamchur interepeted our talk that focused on the situation for Swedish poetry and if there are any characteristic with the poetry from Gothenburg.

All the photos below was taken by Gustav Söderström.
